I hear ya on the simpler rythyms.. The PA80 styles sound more realistic to me vs their Yamaha counterparts, BUT, I find them to be more "song specific" and limiting for live use. They are also busy at times to the point where I have to set them up with some parts turned off. The good news is I can do that with the style "write to disk" function and do not have to save those changes in a registration ( performance ) .

I can't overcome the poor key feel of the 2000, and I don't think the 2100 is much better if at all. It just affects my playing too much. Mind you, I'm a synth player, not a pianist, so hammer weighted is no good either, but I can do fine with the feel of the PA80 and Motif. Heck, I played the "MD1700" ( a casio wk1800 clone )in Radio Shack yesterday and the key feel was very good vs the 2000 series. At 76 keys with a decent key feel, the thing would make a nice controller, but the sounds of course were pretty much pitiful.
